Skiing with friends
The year began with snowflakes and ski boots in Kitzbühel. A wholesome winter escape filled with long ski days, schnitzel stops and hot chocolate overlooking the slopes. It was the kind of trip that resets everything – active, cosy and full of laughter.

Abersoch
A spontaneous reset
Not every trip needs a plane ticket. Jen squeezed in a low-key break to Abersoch – windswept walks, cosy pub lunches and a reminder that magic can be found a few hours from home.
Top Stay: Porth Tocyn Hotel
A coastal gem just outside the village with ocean views, warm service and classic charm.

Tuscany
Motorbikes, vineyards and unforgettable dinners
With a group of fellow entrepreneurs, Jen explored the Tuscan countryside on two wheels. Think winding cypress-lined roads, long lunches with small producers and evenings spent under the stars with brilliant conversation and brilliant wine.
Top Stay: Borgo Pignano
An eco-estate that feels like a film set – farm-to-table food, rolling hills and rustic-luxe interiors.

Trading skis for saddles, Jen’s latest escape took her to the mountains of Megève. Horseback riding with her kids through alpine trails offered the kind of unplugged, present-time experience that travel is really about.
Top Stay: Les Fermes de Marie, Megève
An alpine hideaway with roaring fires, cosy-luxe rooms and space for families to properly switch off.
